Monitoring surgical performance using risk-adjusted cumulative sum charts.
The cumulative sum (CUSUM) procedure is a graphical method that is widely used for quality monitoring in industrial settings. More recently it has been used to monitor surgical outcomes whereby it 'signals' if sufficient evidence has accumulated that there has been a change in the surgical failure rate.

A graphical procedure suitable for prospectively monitoring surgical performance is proposed. The approach is based on accumulating evidence from the outcomes of all previous surgical patients in a series using a new type of cumulative sum chart. Cumulative sum procedures are designed to "signal" if sufficient evidence has accumulated that the surgical failure rate has changed substantially. In...
متن کاملPhase I Risk-Adjusted Control Charts for Monitoring Surgical Performance by Considering Categorical Covariates
In recent years risk-adjusted control charts have been increasingly studied for monitoring surgical outcomes by accounting for patients’ health conditions prior to surgery. However, most existing research focuses on phase II monitoring, and very little work has been done on phase I control of surgical outcomes. In this paper, a general phase I risk-adjusted control chart is proposed for monitor...

Policies with mutil-year loss payments and income tax payments are studied. The breakeven value of terminal assets is given in closed form, and shown to be an increasing function of the claims risk and the asset investment risk. Pr...
